When I want to unwind and tune off my worries and the world's hustle and bustle, I settle in my den and relax to Enya's Orinoco Flow
Sail away... Listen.
(Behind-the-scene: Photographed at "Hello Sushi", a Japanese resto here in Baton Rouge. This is the pink background of this image. It is a wall, I don't know of what make, but lights are projected and it changes, giving an ethereal feeling, and illusion of flow and motion. The bottom black dash is actually a portion of the bar.)
Interestingness: #47.

Another one from Ennerdale on Sunday morning, the light was quite extreme creating an interesting effect, but I also had to grab a shot of the wier because i havent seen the water at this level for a while.

I personally find that there are certain locations that resonate with photographic opportunities. Now obviously the reasons why are complex, they synthesise a whole host of factors and place you into a flow state of creative possibilities. The interesting thing about these places is that the resulting image is the end product, a sum of parts but should offer glimpse elements from its construction. The viewer may or may not be privilege to these factors but a good image should offer ways to welcome interpretation.
For me, a little stream nestled in beech woodland at the very bottom of a long winding country lane offers this creative stimulation, and this is the end product.
An eerie expanse of raised peat bog surrounded by Birch and Scots Pine make this National Nature Reserve rich in plant, insect and bird species. Listen for cuckoo calls and woodpeckers knocking in the woods and look out for adders basking in the sun.
In spring watch out for telltale movements in the grass and heather that signals an Adder or Common Lizard, or see them basking in the sunlight in the early morning. However summer is probably the best time to visit, Common Cotton Grass creates a sea of white across the bog spotted with the delicate bell-shaped pink flowers of the Bog Rosemary. Butterflies like the colourful Peacock and Green Hairstreak flutter in sunny sheltered glades, and colourful dragonflies and damselflies fly low over bog pools. Also keep an eye (and ear) out for Nightjar which may be making their way back to Kirkconnell Flow after a long absence.
To reach the Reserve, take the A710 New Abbey road out of Dumfries. Passing the entrance to Mabie Forest which lies on a sharp left hand bend, take the next turning left between two white pillars. This is Kirkconnell Avenue. The Reserve entrance is 200 m on the left.
Sunset at Norman Island off Wilson's Promontory, Victoria, Australia.
Taken shortly after this shot.
This is part of my newest photo series named "Micro Galaxy".
My main goal was to create a space-like feel in macro scale.

Curcuma petiolata. The name hidden ginger is probably because the flowers hide at the base of the leaves so they are hard to see and harder to take a picture of. Native to Southeast Asia. Member of the ginger family and related to the Cape York Lily, also a Curcuma. Growing at Zilker Botanica Garden, Austin.
